Stability of an almost surjective epsilon-isometry in the dual of real Banach spaces (Q2827338)

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be real Banach spaces. For \(\varepsilon>0\), a mapping \(f : X \to Y\) is said to be an \(\varepsilon\)-isometry if \(|\,\|f(x)-f(y)\|-\|x-y\|\,|\leq \varepsilon\) for all \(x,y \in X\). An \(\varepsilon\)-isometry \(f:X\to Y\) is called stable if there are an isometry \(U\) and a constant \(\rho< 1\) such that \(\|f(x)-U(x)\|\leq \rho\,\varepsilon\) for all \(x\in X\). In this paper, the authors prove that an almost surjective \(\varepsilon\)-isometry is stable in the dual of the underlying spaces. To achieve their main result, they use a lemma of \textit{L.-X. Cheng} et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 264, No. 3, 713--734 (2013; Zbl 1266.46008)] to modify a result of \textit{I. A. Vestfrid} [J. Funct. Anal. 269, No. 7, 2165--2170 (2015; Zbl 1331.46010)].
